Origin and transformation
French and traceable production:
- Harvested and sorted in Val d'azun in the Hautes-Pyrénées
- Washed, carded and spun at the Niaux spinning mill in Ariège
 
Note: The yarn placed on a cone is not rewashed (unlike the skein format), so the spinning oil necessary for the transformation process is always present. Consequently, the thread will gain in swelling after washing your work. It is strongly recommended to make a sample. In addition, it is recommanded to wash the yarn before dyeing it (for example after putting it into a skein), so that the spinning oil does not obstruct the dye.
Care
The wool is not superwah treated. A cold wash with a little soap or detergent is recommended then dry flat (read this article in my blog). If you want to test the wool program on your machine, try it with a sample first to avoid disappointment.
NB: Despite all the care taken in the photos to reflect the color as closely as possible, it may vary depending on the screen.
